As the UT2004 LAN in Dundee, Scotland draws near, I have been collecting some information from the confirmed players to put together this coverage article. On the pages below you will find some information about the players themselves along with their personal predictions!

The tournament is sponsored by Intel, Bigfoot Networks and Artisan Gaming. The fantastic Jee Network are hosting the signups and bracket, you can find the link below to register your interest.

The tournament will take place alongside Dare ProtoPlay 2011 - a large games industry event where teams compete to design a game in just 6 weeks, with the winner being judged by the public and some industry VIPs for large prizes and potential jobs in the industry.

The Format, Seedings, Groups and so on will be added to the article tomorrow! :)

Update:Tournament results! Read on to page 13 for some player interviews. Gallery, demos and videos coming soon.

There will however be VODs and galleries and so on afterwards. This is all I can really do as there is practically no internet connection there, just a poor wi-fi setup. Because of this, most of the coverage and updates will be after the event itself, however, if it is at all possible to run UTV and/or an audio stream then I will get it organised. :)

Other scenes can take an example from this. Players themself searching for sponsorship and putting in hours&hours to set up a tournament for their (shit, dead) game instead of whining about never having enough tournaments. Glhf to all, make sure to put Thibault drunk on a plane again 8)

Alright, well this eswc semifinals (on lea not ironic) was very low scoring but still very entertaining as it was very well shoutcasted.
And I never agreed with the "more frags more fun" concept in a game. It was a very interesting game.

Enjoy China, good place to find a girl coming from europe I heard :)

PS: I think theres another 0-0 game aswell with lauke involved. On ironic but I can't recall if it's part of the same game. I'll dig into this soon.

so true. that goes out to all ql whine cunts on here. theyve been havin competitions for years now and still aint enough and the game is half dead. ut never had even 10% of those tournies and yet people still play it and the scene is active. open cups are played and u rarely see any whine.
it all comes down to how much you like the game and not what comes with it.

So true, kinda thought the same. I really respect the effort the leftovers put in a dead fastpaced fps. Never liked ut2k4 tho. :(
